Disclaimer: The article assumes that you are giving a handjob to a person with a penis.
When it comes to handjobs, there’s more to it than the typical up-down motion (although that can be fun). Pleasing a person with your hands can be an erotic art form, and in this guide, we’ll provide techniques, tips and tricks to make handjobs enjoyable for both the giver and the receiver.
Communicate Your Pleasure
Add a Dash of Oil
Consider the Setting
Morphology: Cut vs. Uncut
Get a Grip (Literally)
It’s often helpful to see someone with a penis masturbating. We all know our own bodies best and being shown how someone pleasures themselves provides insight into the technique, rhythm and grips that make them feel good. However, this doesn’t mean you’re simply imitating their actions. The thrill of being touched by another person lies in the anticipation of the unknown. As a basic posture, consider grasping the penis with your entire hand and gently exploring. The receiver’s reactions can convey valuable information. You can also inquire directly, “Should I grip more firmly? less firmly?” The coordinated movement of the thumb and index finger controls the grip towards the glans. You can adjust the pressure and experiment, particularly on the glans, the most sensitive part of the penis. But pressure and friction on the shaft of the penis can also bring pleasure, especially if you want to vary the stimulation.
Another gripping technique involves placing your thumb along the shaft of the penis, reaching the tip of the glans. From this position, you can use friction or you can massage the glans with your thumb. Saliva, oil or another lubricant can aid in creating the right friction. Alternatively, it’s also possible to use so-called “pre-cum” as a natural lubricant. (You can also satisfy a person with your feet instead of your hands, but footjobs are a separate topic).

Concluding Thoughts
Handjobs may sound trivial at first, but we hope we’ve shown you the artistry involved in this intimate act. The tips we’ve shared are merely inspiration; find out for yourself with the person receiving what you both enjoy. As the giver of a handjob, deriving pleasure from observing the immediate impact on another person’s body can be immensely gratifying. A penis becomes a landscape that we explore with all the sensitivity of our hands. There is no singular technique or perfect handjob. As always in sex, it all comes down to communication and tact.
